본 연구는 국가교육과정에서 문자 교육 입문기인 초등학교 1학년을 대상으로 하여 글자크기와 성별에 따른 가독성 차이를 알아보기 위한 연구로서 초등학교 1학년 학생에게 교과서 본문에 쓰이는 글자 크기는 실제 학습에 있어 가독성에 유의미한지 초등학교 1학년 학생들은 성별에 따라 본문 읽기는 어떤 다른 가독성 효과를 보이는지에 대하여 살펴보았다. 본 논문 주제에 대한 접근방법으로 먼저, 가독성의 개념, 가독성에 영향을 미치는 요소, 가독성 측정방법에 대한 고찰과 함께 초등학교 1학년 교과서 본문 글자 크기와 성별에 따라 가독성이 어떻게 달라지는지에 대하여 실험을 통하여 검증하였다. 초등학교 1학년 대상으로 글자 크기에 따른 가독성 차이를 살펴봄으로써 현행 교과서의 체제 개선에 필요한 기초 자료를 마련하고 성별에 따라 가독성 효과가 어떻게 차이가 나는지 살펴봄으로써 성별에 따른 남녀의 언어 발달 차이에 대한 이해와 성별에 따른 읽기 지도 전략에 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.

This study explores the possibility and development plan for science career education in the lower grades of elementary school. Accordingly, science career education programs were developed and applied. We investigated changes in perception and interest in science before and after the programs, and analyzed surveys, research journals, student worksheets, and interview records. Science career education programs for lower-grade elementary school students have a positive effect on the perception of scientists and science. Moreover, they influence students' interest in science. Lastly, students' perception of this program was positive and gave high marks to all parameters such as interest, participation, and understanding of the program.

7차교육과정에서의 초등 컴퓨터교육은 재량활동시간 또는 특별활동시간에 단순한 응용프로그램(워드프로세서, 엑셀, 파워포인트 등)을 활용하거나 인터넷을 이용한 정보검색 수준이다. 따라서, 문제해결 능력이나 논리적 사고력을 향상시키는데는 미흡하다. 인지능력이 뛰어난 초등학교 5, 6학년에는 이러한 컴퓨터 활용방법 교육보다 컴퓨터 기초원리 또는 프로그래밍교육이 필요하다. 본 논문은 프로그래밍교육을 재량 특별활동 시간에 학년별(5, 6학년) 또는 통합학년으로 학습할 수 있게 프로그래밍교육과정 60차시 분을 개발하여 제안하였다. 개발한 교육과정은 교수 및 학습자의 요구사항을 최대한 반영하기 위해 설문조사 등을 통해 얻은 기초자료를 참조하였다. 제안한 교육과정이 초등학교 5, 6학년에 적합하고 우수한지를 검토하기 위해 일부 차시의 교육과정으로 5, 6학년을 대상으로 재량활동시간에 직접 교수 학습한 후 자기평가, 설문조사를 실시하였다. 결과로 제안한 교육과정이 적합성과 우수성이 있다고 판단되었다.

현재 초등학생용 컴퓨터 수업에서 그래픽 수업을 위한 초등학생 교육용 소프트웨어와 컨텐츠가 부족한 것이 현실이다. 매주 컴퓨터 수업을 하고 있으나 교과서에서 그래픽 관련 단원 수업은 거의 미미한 수준이다. 또한 초등학교 저학년 아동들의 발달단계 및 흥미를 고려한 그래픽 프로그램의 부재로 아동들이 학습을 하는데 어려움을 겪고 있다. 저학년 아동들을 위한 컴퓨터 그래픽 에디터가 필요하며 컴퓨터 그래픽에 관련된 단원을 아동들에게 가르치고 있으나 단순한 흥미수준의 몇 시간의 수업으로 끝나고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 초등학교 저학년을 위한 그래픽 에디터의 개발과 이러한 단편적인 지도를 보다 체계적인 지도 내용을 마련하여 초등학교 저학년 컴퓨터 그래픽 활용능력을 신장시키고자 한다.

Considering precedent studies in which research subjects are mainly confined to secondary school students or higher grade students of elementary schools, we can notice that there has been implicit agreement that instruction of mathematical modeling is quite difficult to lower grade students of elementary schools. Compared to this tendency, this study aims to examine the possibility of instruction of mathematical modeling for all of school ages, and more specifically, the applicability of mathematical modeling tasks to lower graders. To do this, we developed a mathematical modeling task proper to cognitive characteristics of lower graders and applied this task to the second graders. Based on the research results by lesson observation and the teacher's reflection, some didactical suggestions were induced for teaching the lower grade elementary school students mathematical modeling.

The purpose of this study was to analysis the gender differences in the academic achievement and the difference of academic achievement by the residential area in elementary school. Common phenomenon was observed in the result of the differences between male and female students' academic achievement and the ratio of achievement level. Female students' score was higher in 3rd grade elementary school but in 4th and 5the grade this phenomenon was gradually weakened. The following are the results of analysis of elementary school students' mathematics academic achievement in three areas(big city, small city and rural area). In the result was proved that the problem of the gap between the urban and rural areas has continued in the 21st century.

A transition from elementary to secondary school, and among grades, among learning contents is a essential problem in education. A connectivity between learning contents is important in student's growth and development. A gap between lower grades and higher grades in elementary school is no less extensive than a gap between elementary mathematics and secondary mathematics. In this paper, we start with a critical mind about a transition and connectivity between lower grades and higher grades in elementary school. In order to compare between elementary grades, we firstly focus 4th grade mathematics which finish lower grades and start higher grades at the same time. First, we make up a questionnaire to 4th grade students and teachers in charge 4th grade. A questionnaire is composed of questions about the degree of difficulty in the learning(and teaching) of 4th grade mathematics comparing with 3rd grade mathematics. Second, we compare to lower grades lessons(1st grade) and 4th grade lessons using a qualitative method. we analyze the lesson contents, activities and time through 'analysis of the learning course'. And we compare the pattern of eliciting questions, question patterns, nomination patterns and feedback patterns between 1st grade and 4th grade lessons. We hope that this paper is a fundamental sources in investigating a connectivity between lower grades and higher grades in elementary mathematics in the future.

Mathematical justification is essential to assert with reason and to communicate. Students learn mathematical justification in 8th grade in Korea. Recently, However, many researchers point out that justification be taught from young age. Lots of studies say that students can deduct and justify mathematically from in the lower grades in elementary school. I conduct questionnaire to know awareness and steps of elementary school students and middle school students. In the case of 9th grades, the rate of students to deduct is highest compared with the other grades. The rease is why 9th grades are taught how to deductive justification. In spite of, however, the other grades are also high of rate to do simple deductive justification. I want to focus on the 6th and 5th grades. They are also high of rate to deduct. It means we don't need to just focus on inducing in elementary school. Most of student needs lots of various experience to mathematical justification.

According to the presentation of the new national curriculum, this study aims to analyze teacher's perceptions of the information education for lower grade students in elementary school. Before conducting survey, analyzing overseas and domestic researches were preceded. The questionnaires were collected by an online survey of 166 incumbent elementary school teachers after verification by an expert group. As a result, contrary to the basis of the information education curriculum to be strengthened, teacher's stagnant negative perceptions could be confirmed through various measurement variables. Before the introduction of a new national curriculum in 2024, it is a time when efforts to improve teacher's perceptions of information education for lower graders are particularly necessary.

This study develops and examines the validity of a Creativity Test for children from of 4 to 7. 47 items were constructed through the validity of the literature and expert's content validity. The results of this study consisted of 22 items with three factors. These factors are flow and independence, expansion of thinking, curiosity and openness. The tests scale was examined about item's response distribution, item's discrimination, and construct validity and internal consistency reliability, and it was adoptable. It can be concluded that the test tool developed in this study is suitable for measuring the creativity of Korean children from 4 to 7 years in a simple manner, and it measures relatively well the cognitive and affective characteristics of creativity. Creativity test tool for children from 4 to 7 years in this study will contribute to the active progress of research on creativity for young children and elementary school children.
